The nine-month-old appears to have had his brown eyes changed to green, his hair lightenedto a strawberry-blonde, and his lips and cheeks reddened by US Weekly.
The young prince is set to grace the next cover of the magazine following his tour of Australia and New Zealand with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Earlier this month an image of him playing with a wooden bead frame was altered to remove an inscription on the toy stating that it belonged to the Tawa-Linden Plunket Toy Library.
Toy Library Federation president Ester Romp said toy libraries and Plunket were excited to see one of their toys featured with the Prince. She said she was surprised the inscription had been removed from the Majesty picture.
"Kate had asked for a genuine Kiwi experience. Toy libraries and Plunket are part of that. We were very proud to be involved. How the British press use the images doesn't take away from our experience."
